UF After Dark: Perroncel Le Pew (Terry Tuesday finale)

She made a John of Terry

I was going to write some (more) stuff here about the Terry Affair, but what’s the point? You won’t read a word. Shit, you’ve probably just typed something like “Terry French Panties Model” or “Vinessa Paronsell Titty Terry” or “England football abortion lingerie chick,” into your Google search. Animals. Here’s your red meat. I’ve taken some bits from the Vanessa Perroncel wikipedia page to break up the photos.

So as it turns out, Perroncel is sans wikipedia page. Who does a French lingerie model have to shag to get a wikipedia page these days? (Apparently NOT Wayne Bridge or John Terry.) We’ll improvise…

Bright Lights, Big… oh c’mon now

Vanessa was born in 24 November, 1864, in Albi, Tarn in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, the firstborn child of Comte Alphonse and Comtesse Adèle de Perroncel.

First she went Green, then Blue

Vanessa Perroncel came from a family of Anglophiles, and while she wasn’t as fluent as she pretended to be she spoke English well enough to travel to London. The business of making posters lead Vanessa to London, gaining her work that lead to the making of the ‘Confetti’ poster, and the bicycle advert ‘La Chaîne Simpson’.

Help, I am falling from ze chair

Ah, zees is better

Perroncel was often mocked for her short stature and physical appearance, and this lead her to drown her sorrows in alcohol… She would have parties at her house on a Friday night and force her guests to try them. The invention of the cocktail “Earthquake” or Tremblement de Terre, is attributed to Perroncel; a potent mixture containing half absinthe and half cognac, (in a wine goblet, 3 parts Absinthe and 3 parts Cognac sometimes served with ice cubes or shaken in a cocktail shaker filled with ice.)

Going to need bigger sunglasses after this

Perroncel was drawn to Montmartre, an area of Paris famous for its bohemian lifestyle and for being the haunt of artists, writers, and philosophers. Studying with Bonnat placed Vanessa in the heart of Montmartre, an area that she would rarely leave over the next 20 years.

Enjoying her football

Perroncel’s last words reportedly were: “Le vieux con!” (“The old fool!”, although the word “con” can be meant in both simple and vulgar terms). This was her goodbye to her father.

What, leaving so soon?

For the record, the text above is taken from the wiki biography of the French post-Impressionist artist Henri de Toulouse-Latrec. We just swapped in Vanessa for Henri, etc.. So if you read, you did learn something. Merci beaucoup!
